Summary: A major surprise from this year's Nintendo E3 Press Conference was the announcement of Donkey Kong Country Returns (DKCR). Having played it on the E3 showroom floor, I'm happy to report that it is shaping up to be every bit as fun as its Super Nintendo predecessor. Read Full Article

Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games I played also, like Oleschues. It's also one of my favorite series. But I wish they would have stuck to the same kind of game engine, but cleaned up the overworld. I don't like the look as much. But hey, if it's nearly as good as the other ones, I'm in.

The art in this game is fantastic. Retro's talent was not wasted here. The game looks beautiful. You'd have to have terrible tastes in video games not to atleast admire the effort that went into this great looking title. I for one, can't wait to play antother masterpiece from Retro.

To this day, Donkey kong country remains one of my favorite games of all time. Still play the original from time to time. Im so excited Nintendo announced this. Looks like the same great game with a lot more awesomeness than before. Cant wait!

what happened to the kremlings?? it's not the same without them!! and japanese style monsters do not belong in donkey kong country! please bring back the pirate themed kremlings retro to add to the atmoshpere and nostalgia that you have already brought back.

I'll love this game as long as it's more challenging than New Super Mario Bros. Wii was. It seems like this would be a blast to play with my girlfriend or one of my friends, so it scores some big cool points from me already.

It's great to see such a legendary franchise receive the revitalization it deserves, with an old classic like DK Country.

Having played the originals back for the Super Nintendo this game looks like a faithful and fun way to bring the series back to prominence. DK and Diddy are back to eat bananas and kick some Kremling Butt!

OMFG, Thank you nintendo. finally somthing to look fowart too on the wii. Everyone who has ever had to blow into a game cartrage to make the game work knows that some of the best game titles ever released were on these antiquated now clasic systems. The new super powerfull gaming systems of today are great too but back then a game had to be able to consume the player with story or content. In other words the game had to be fun otherwise there was now reason to play or more importantly buy. Alot of games today are only tollorable to play because of the "sweet grafix", which as any experienced gamer knows will be fun to play for all of about one hour maybe less. oh yea, this game looks awsome if its half as fun as the first 2 (yes i know there was a third) it will be better than 50% of whats on the shelvs today.

aggghhh y dont they remake dk64 one of the best games for the 64 yet theyve never done a remake or sequel...i grew up with that game and would like to see another installment created....please nintendo/rare/whoever makes it...

I am so PUMPED to see this game. My sister and I blazed through DKC 1-3 on the SNES over and over again, but DK64 was such a letdown. This is exactly what I wanted to see from a new Donkey Kong game -- thank you, Nintendo (for this and the other awesome announcements)!

"Shake the Wii remote and Nunchuk up and down"?
I thought this game would use the Wii remote on it's side like other Wii platformers.
But all the same, I'm damn excited for this game. It's been too long since I played a good DK game, and he deserves good games.

Why would anyone knock this? We've only been asking for a new DKC for forever And Retro? Damn fine job stepping into Rare's shoes (classic Rare. "At the top of their game" Rare). This is a must buy...and far more technically sound than New Super Mario Bros. (although it sounds like it's borrowing a few ideas from that game, which is good 'cuz that game was major fun).

This, along with Kirby were the highlights of the day for me!!! I've been humming the DK music all day so many fond memories were brought back of playing the original Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES as a child. Thanks Nintendo!!!!
